Robert is our middle child and the only boy. I'm sure life was not easy for him being sandwiched between his two sisters, however I do think it taught him how to be extra quick in the bathroom.

Robert was born on June 14th 1975 in the Bundaberg Base Hospital and was the only one of my children who actually arrived when it was supposed to.

Robert is the quiet one in the family, the thinking one.  He is smart, funny, likes jokes, farside books and loves fishing and playing his guitar.

 
He is the one who used to play video games with me and sometimes even let me win.

Bob right now is living in Mt Isa, a mining town in central Queensland where he is a mechanical engineer. It never ever surprised me when he said he wanted to do this because even when he was little, he was always taking things apart to see how they worked, usually his little sisters toys - then he would take the pieces and make something completely different. Needless to say, his sister was usually unimpressed.

 
Robert loves music, we bought him a little electric guitar when he was about 10 and he promptly hid it in the back of his wardrobe - then his second year of University he dug it out and took it with him when he went back to the city. The next time he came home he had taught himself to play it.  I think hes very good.
